Learn about our delivery options

  • This delivery method involves all elements of the training and assessment being delivered in the face to face setting. This type of delivery is perfect for first time First Aiders, learners who need assistance with reading and writing and those who learn more efficiantly with higher interaction. This training can be delivered in one or two days depending on group sizes and learners needs.

  • This delivery method is best suited to students who are confident in learning online and have basic computer skills. The knowledge content and theory assessment is delivered through the online learning system (Training Desk), prior to a face to face practical assessment. It is essential that students have access to a reliable computer and internet access. This is perfect for learners who are time poor or prefer to complete the theory at their own pace and break it up.
